Williamston police said a 17-year-old went to Palmetto High School in Williamston to see his girlfriend, and did not check in properly at the office, and was therefore on campus without permission.

The girlfriend’s mother told police that the teen had been on campus, and investigators used surveillance video for confirmation. Police then issued a warrant for the teen on a charge of disturbing school.

The teen is a former Woodmont student, according to Oby Lyles, Greenville Schools spokesman, which was the reason for the precautions taken at Woodmont.

The school notified parents via its telephone calling system.

Greenville County sheriff's Lt. Ty Miller said deputies responded to the school in an effort to "assist in the precautionary measures set forth by the School District."

The Laurens County Sheriff’s Office confirms that the teen is a person of interest in a burglary in that county a couple of days ago.
